I write research proposals and technical documentation focusing on IT/telecommunications and their applications, particularly in the biomedical sciences and healthcare fields. My strength is translating complicated technical ideas into simple but persuasive stories that reviewers can't resist. Recently, I wrote two successful proposals that led to creation of the CSU Institute for Palliative Care. I have 25 years writing experience working with scientific, engineering, and technical teams at UCSD, the San Diego Supercomputer Center, and the California Institute for Telecommunications and Information Technology.
